Definitions

  • the invention relates to wideband pulse-based communications. Especially, the invention relates to ultra-wideband (UWB) communications.
  • UWB ultra-wideband
  • Ultra- wideband (UWB) communication technology has been known for decades. Actually, in 1887, German physicist Heinrich Hertz, discovered radio waves by using a spark gap transmitter, which can been considered as an early UWB radio. That is, the first radio transmission ever made employed UWB technology. Later the use of UWB radios was banned because they use a relatively wide spectrum and therefore UWB technology was not used in commercial communication applications for a long time. However, in late 1990's, the use of UWB technology was brought up again and in 2002 FCC (Federal Communications Commission) permitted the marketing and operation of UWB devices in the USA, which enables public use of UWB communications. It is likely that public use of UWB communications will be allowed also in other parts of the world.
  • FCC Federal Communications Commission
  • the FCC regulations permit the usage of UWB transmission for communication purposes in the frequency band of 3.1-10.6 GHz. With current ruling the transmitted spectral density has to be under -41.3 dBm/MHz and the utilized bandwidth has to be higher than 500 MHz.
  • UWB devices operate by employing very narrow or short duration pulses that result in very large or wideband transmission bandwidths. That is, information is sent over the air by using pulses instead of continuous wave, the method which is used in most of the conventional radios.
  • the frequency, in which the pulses are repeated (Pulse Repetition Frequency, PRF)
  • PRF Pulse Repetition Frequency
  • PRF Pulse Repetition Frequency
  • PRF Physical Repetition Frequency
  • IR Impulse Radio
  • RF Radio Frequency
  • a basic IR transmitter is relatively simple. In its simple form the IR transmitter comprises basically only a pulse generator and an antenna. Because transmission power in an IR radio is low, there is no need for a power amplifier, and because signalling is baseband signalling, there is no need for a mixer or for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). An IR receiver is more complex than the IR transmitter. Nevertheless, an IR receiver is simpler than a conventional continuous wave receiver, at least in principle, since in an IR receiver, there is no need to use intermediate frequencies, which simplifies the receiver.
  • UWB communications are typically short range, high speed, peer-to-peer communications, that is, communications between two end-user devices.
  • a physical communication channel is shared between uplink (data transmitted from a first end-user device to a second end-user device) and downlink (data transmitted from the second end-user device to the first end-user device) in a time division type of manner. That is, the physical communication channel is divided into time slots in time domain and some of the time slots are allocated to the downlink and some of the time slots are allocated to the uplink.
  • Link control information such as acknowledgement messages, which is needed for maintaining the communication link between the communicating parties, is sent on the same physical channel with the actual data.
  • a general presentation on a particular UWB system is presented in the international patent application publication WO 01/39451 Al.
  • the present invention provides a solution for adjusting pulse-based transmission to meet transmission channel conditions.
  • a method for wide- band communication comprising: transmitting pulses from a first communication device to another device via a wireless link at a pulse repetition frequency, the pulse repetition frequency substantially defining a time difference between adjacent pulses, the method compris- ing: performing measurements, based on pulses received at said another device, in order to obtain information on delay conditions of the wireless link; and adjusting the pulse repetition frequency based on said measurements.
  • a set or a sequence of pulses is transmitted at a pulse repetition frequency (PRF) in accordance with ultra-wideband (UWB) technology.
  • the pulses may be impulses or narrow pulses having a certain shape.
  • a communication device configured for wideband communication, the communication device comprising: a receiver for receiving pulses transmitted, by another device, via a wireless link, wherein the communication device comprises: a measurement arrangement for measuring, based on the received pulses, delay conditions of the wireless link for link adjustment purpose.
  • a communication device configured for wideband communication, the communication device comprising: a transmitter for transmitting pulses via a wireless link to another device; and a receiver for receiving link control information from said another device, wherein the link control information comprises information indicative of measured delay conditions of the wireless link for link adjustment purpose.

  • UWB communications refers in general to a communication technology, wherein data is transmitted by means of narrow or short duration pulses or impulses (a special case of a pulse), and wherein transmitted pulses or impulses are spaced apart in the time domain by a certain guard time which is, typically, much longer than the duration of the transmitted pulse (or impulse).
  • the transmitted pulses may be baseband pulses.
  • Figure 1 shows a UWB communications system.
  • the system comprises a first UWB device 11 and a second UWB device 12.
  • the UWB devices 11 and 12 both comprise a UWB communications part with the aid of which a UWB communication link between the UWB devices 11, 12 is established.
  • the first UWB device 11 transmits downlink data to the second UWB device 12 and the second UWB device 12 sends link control information in uplink using the same or different fre- quency band that is used for downlink data transmission.
  • uplink and downlink are used simply for referring to opposite directions of data transmission, therefore they can be used interchangeably.
  • the first UWB device 11 may be, for example, a digital camera or a mobile phone
  • the second UWB device 12 may be, for example, a desktop or laptop computer.
  • Data that is transmitted in downlink may be, for example, data files, such as digi- tal photographs, to be stored or processed in the desktop or laptop computer.
  • the link control information may be transmitted, for example, on the same communication channel as downlink data, or by using a separate radio.
  • the link control information comprises measurement-based information on delay spread conditions experienced by the second UWB device 12. Based on this information, used transmission pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is appropriately adjusted in order to optimize the air interface data rate (which is proportional to the PRF) between the UWB transceivers 11 and 12. Details of this embodiment are more closely discussed later in this description.

  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a UWB communication part 20 of a UWB device, such as the UWB device 11 or 12.
  • the communication part 20 may be, for example, an integral part of a UWB device or an independent module operating in co-operation with other modules of a module assembly.
  • the UWB communication part 20 comprises a transmission buffer block 21, which buffers data to be transmitted.
  • the transmission buffer block 21 is coupled to a UWB transmitter block 22, which generates the pulses to be transmitted and which is further coupled to an antenna 24 via a switch 23.
  • the switch 23 couples also a UWB receiver block 26 to the antenna 24.
  • a switch control block 25, which con- trols switching between the UWB transmitter block 22 and the UWB receiver block 26, is coupled to the switch 23.
  • the UWB receiver block 26 is further coupled to a packet defragmentation block 27 which outputs received data out of the communication part 20.
  • the first UWB device 11 transmits data to the second UWB device 12 (Fig. 2) and receives link control information from the second UWB device 12.
  • the data (Tx data) to be transmitted is conveyed in the UWB communication part 20 of the first UWB device 11 via the transmission buffer block 21 and the UWB transmitter block 22 to the switch 23 and further to the antenna 24 for over-the-air transmission to the second UWB device 12.
  • link control information transmitted by the UWB communication part 20 of the second UWB device 12 is received at the first UWB device 11, it is conveyed from the antenna 24 via the switch 23 and the UWB receiver block 26 to the packet defragmentation block 27 for packet defragmenta- tion.
  • the received link control information (or data, Rx data) is con- veyed for further processing.
  • the switch control block 25 controls the switch 23 to switch between transmission and reception modes.
  • the link control information received at the first UWB device 11 comprises measurement-based information on delay spread conditions experi- enced by the second UWB device 12.
  • that information is taken to a PRF control block 28 of the first UWB device 11.
  • the PRF control block 28 is configured to control the operation of the UWB transmitter block 22 so as to adjust the used PRF in accordance with current delay spread conditions of the used transmission channel. In this way, air-interface data rate which is propor- tional to the used PRF can be increased and maximized in good channel conditions.
  • the PRF control block 28 can, alternatively, be implemented as a part of the UWB transmission block 22. In a UWB device which receives data the PRF control block 28 may also be used to control the timing of the UWB receiver block 26.
  • the new PRF which is proportional to the measured delay spread, may be negotiated between the UWB de- vices over a link.
  • the negotiation may be started by the first or second UWB device 11, 12, if there is a change (e.g. an increase) observed in the delay spread, or if otherwise decided.
  • the negotiation may be accomplished, for example, by transmitting an increase/decrease type of request from the second (receiving) UWB device 12 to the first (transmitting) UWB device 11.
  • Alternatively, a more sophisticated procedure in which an actual PRF is proposed may be carried out. If the transmitting device (here: the first UWB device 11) does not support the proposed PRF, it can use the closest possible PRF.
  • the receiving device should be provided information about the PRF to be used. In some embodiments, it is always the receiving device that decides which PRF values can be accepted.
  • Figure 3 shows the concept of delay spread in more detail.
  • the Figure shows in time domain data pulses sent from a transmitter and the form in which the pulses are received at a receiver. More closely, Figure 3 illustrates the shape of a bit sequence "1101001" at the transmitter and corresponding received energy at the receiver. It should be noted that Figure 3 presents an imaginary case.
  • the bit one ("1") is transmitted by transmitting a pulse
  • the bit zero ("0") is transmitted by transmitting nothing.
  • a pulse can be sent for every zero.
  • any other method in which a data bit is presented by means of a simple baseband pulse shape, can be used. For example, a zero may be presented by an inverted pulse.
  • the timing and shape of transmitted pulses is negotiated beforehand between the transmitter and the receiver, so that the receiver "knows” when to listen to sent pulses and what shape they should take. On the basis of the energy received the receiver concludes whether a one or a zero was received.
  • the time between transmitted pulses is called the guard time and the spreading of the received pulse (or signal) in time domain at the receiver is called the delay spread.
  • the delay spread is, typically, caused by multipath propagation of the transmitted signal.
  • the guard time decreases. If the PRF is selected too high, the whole guard time is consumed by the delay spread of the received pulse. In that case, the delay spread may disturb the reception of the next pulse.
  • the PRF and the air-interface data rate which is proportional to the PRF
  • the delay conditions may be measured.
  • Figure 4 shows an embodiment of the invention wherein a measurement arrange- ment is implemented in a receiving UWB device, e.g. the second UWB device 12 of Figure 1. It should be noted that Figure 4 is simplified to some extent. Only one possible measurement arrangement is shown.
  • the transmitted pulse and its multipath components are received by the antenna 24.
  • the received signal is conveyed to a bandpass filter 42 which filters frequencies residing outside the used frequency band.
  • the level of the received signal is amplified in a low noise amplifier 43.
  • the amplified signal is conveyer to a correlator (or mixer) 45 in which it is mixed with a signal produced by a template generator 44.
  • the signal produced by the template generator 44 has the expected shape of the received signal.
  • the output of the correlator 45 gives a channel impulse response (CIR). This is conveyed to an integrator 46 the output of which gives the sum of the channel impulse response. The output of the integrator 46 is analysed by an analysing unit 47. When the sum of the channel impulse response begins to flatten out, the edge of the channel impulse response has been found. This information (possibly added with a safety marginal) may be reported to the transmitting UWB device (here: the first UWB device 11 of Figure 1) for a PRF negotiation or adjustment purpose. The transmitting UWB device then takes appropriate action.
  • the PRF is too high the channel impulse response between two adjacent pulses will overlap. This can be seen in the integrator output as a (cumul- lative) sum which does not completely flatten out before the next received pulse makes it grow again. In this case, a decrease in the PRF can be negotiated.
  • the measurement of the CIR can be performed with the same radio that is used for UWB communication, since it should be capable of measuring multipath components.
  • PRF control (or negotiation) can be performed in the way that, based on delay spread measurements, the receiving UWB device requests the transmitting UWB device to increase or decrease the PRF.
  • This request can be implemented by a separate link manager level message or as a part of link control information.
  • the transmitting UWB device acknowledges the request and switches to the next closest PRF which is, depending on the request, higher or lower than the original PRF and supported by the UWB devices.
  • the receiving device is provided with information about the "new" PRF to be used in said acknowledgement or in any other suitable way.
  • the "closest available" PRF is negotiated. This em- bodiment may be implemented such that information on supported PRFs is changed in advance between devices during link initialization (or setup) phase. Also, during the link initialization, delay spread measurements concerning the channel to be used are performed. When a need for PRF adjustment arises, the receiver sends a separate link control level message (contents of this message can alternatively be combined with link control information transmission) where a new (supported) PRF is proposed. If the proposed PRF is acceptable to the trans- mitring UWB device, it acknowledges the proposal and, after acknowledgement, switches to said new PRF mode.
  • the gap time between the end of the received pulse and the start of the next pulse is measured and transmitted to the transmitting device. This can be defined as the time between the point in time at which the output of the integrator is completely flattened out and the point in time at which the sum starts to grow again. Corresponding information is transmitted to the transmitting UWB device for the PRF negotiation or adjustment purpose.
  • the CIR over a certain threshold is detected.
  • the last meaningful multipath component is detected from the integrator output by detecting the corresponding step in the sum. The time between that point in time and the point in time at which the sum starts to grow again is measured. Corresponding information is transmitted to the transmitting UWB device for the PRF negotiation or adjustment purpose.
  • FIG. 5 shows a basic protocol stack structure of two communicating parties 51 and 52. Both communicating parties comprise a UWB radio and corresponding protocol stack.
  • the protocol stack comprises an application layer (Host), an HCI (Host Controller Interface) layer, a link manager layer, a link controller layer and a UWB transceiver layer (physical layer).
  • Host application layer
  • HCI Home Controller Interface
  • link manager layer link manager layer
  • link controller layer link controller layer
  • UWB transceiver layer physical layer
  • the receiving communication party 52 comprises a channel measurement block for implementing a measurement arrangement, e.g., the measuring arrangement of Figure 4.
  • Channel measurement information and other link control parameters are sent on link controller level (dashed arrows) from the communication party 52 to the communication party 51.
  • the transmitting communication party 51 comprises the PRF control block 28 (see also Fig. 2) which is configured to control the used PRF in accordance with the delay spread measurements performed at the receiving end 52.
  • the measured delay spread conditions may be communicated to the transmitting end 51 by adding a suitable parameter to the conventional link control data transmitted in uplink.
  • Embodiments of the invention give a transmitting device tools with the aid of which the PRF can be appropriately adjusted, based on channel delay measure- ments, and the air-interface data rate optimized so that the data transmission ca- pasity can be maximized.
  • the PRF used for transmission at a first communication device and for reception at a second communica- tion device may be chosen to be different from the PRF used for transmission and reception in the other direction, i.e from the second communication device to the first one.
